Another newsmagazine in the style of ``Entertainment Tonight'' but this one promises more depth and no tabloid stuff. Giselle Fernandez and Larry Mendte are your hosts.

AMERICA'S DUMBEST CRIMINALS

(Saturdays at 7 p.m. on WBNE, Channel 59. Premiere: Sept. 21.)

Reality, crime and humor collide in this half-hour series based on the bestselling book of the same name. The show uses video surveillance footage, interviews and re-enactments to focus on lame-brain criminal acts. Case in point: a woman who altered a lottery ticket so she could win $20 only to find out after her arrest that the original legit ticket was worth $5,000.

``Cops'' meets ``Baywatch'' in this reality-based show that follows the crime-fighting and rescue operations taking place around the nation's water venues. Ian Zeiring (``Beverly Hills, 90210'') is your host.

Spun off the feature films, the series stars Kevin Dobson (``Knots Landing''), Cameron Daddo and Carrie-Anne Moss (both of ``Models, Inc.) and Christina Cox (``Due South'') in an action show where a special-effects wizard and friends work with the NYPD.

JUDGE JUDY

(Weekdays at 11:30 a.m. on WTXX, Channel 20. Premiere: Sept. 9.)

New York City family court Judge Judy Sheindlin, author of ``Don't Pee On My Leg And Tell Me It's Raining,'' presides in this half-hour reality/courtroom show. Promotional material promises compelling cases with quick and fair verdicts from the star.

PAT BULLARD

(Weekdays at 10 a.m. on WTNH, Channel 8. Premiere: Sept. 16.)

A talk show with 37-year-old comedian, producer and writer Pat Bullard (``Roseanne''). He'll hit the streets with his ``self-deprecating'' style when the mood and the topics move him.

THE CAPE

(Thursdays at 8 p.m. on WTXX, Channel 20. Premiere: Sept. 19.)

Corbin Bernsen (``L.A. Law'') stars in this hourlong drama about the U.S. space program that's filmed against the backdrop of the Kennedy Space Center and Florida beaches. NASA is giving technical support, and former astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Bruce Melnick are technical consultants.
